CACERES GUEVARA, Paola Natalia; LANG, Karen Luise e ARAGON NOVOA, Marcela. Cosmetovigilance: a scoping study. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2016, vol.45, n.2, pp.305-327. ISSN 0034-7418.
Cosmetics are free sale products that are used daily by consumers who usually not concerned about the possible health implications by the use of these products. It is necessary to perform a post-sale monitoring for these products, since in recent years they have been associated with adverse reactions. For this reason was built the cosmetovigilance concept as well as the need to implement a system to perform this task. This systematic review found a limited number of publications about the current cosmetovigilance status and tendencies at world level. Nevertheless, it was possible to define the concept and identify the countries that have developed and implemented this system. European Union is the leader in this topic, with investigations, regulations, development and implementation of an harmonized cosmetovigilance system. These activities include the participation of distributors, manufacturing industries, health professionals and consumers. Cosmetovigilance is a sanitary vigilance area that is still under development and therefore it is important to keep on investigating about this topic until achieve an efficient and useful system, for both European Union members and developing countries such as Colombia.
